At present, an experimental technique has been successful in restoring some sense of hearing to deaf gerbils by application of  light. Although it is just the start of a proof-of-concept study, it does make it hopeful that one day doctors could use a similar method for treatment of hearing loss in humans. [...]

Tinnitus could be very annoying condition, however, there is now hope that the millions of people currently suffering from the chronic ringing in their ears will be somehow cured . By application of precisely timed blasts of sound and electrical pulses, this experimental device could “reset” the responsible nerve activity [...]

Skin patches that are made of thousands of tiny needles could be   capable of offering antibiotics directly to the bloodstream, by doing so, it could help avoid a major path for resistance to appear and spread. Like most methods of controlling bacterial disease, this is unlikely to prove a permanent solution, although it [...]

Scientists may have found the one of the reasons that alcohol can cause cancer. It is discovered that the hard stuff can lead to  irreversible damage to the DNA in some of human body’s stem cells, possibly demonstrating kind of a link between alcohol and deadly mutations. During the last decades, more [...]

In the past two years, scientists have made some successful achievements in fighting off the suspected cause of Alzheimer’s in mice without using drugs. The first recommended technology applied light pulses to changing brainwaves and at the moment scientists believe it can also be attained with sound waves. A research [...]

Some people dislike looking at pictures of clusters of holes. Obviously they have kind of trypophobia, a condition described as the “fear of holes”. However, based on a latest study, it is not linked with fear at all, in fact it is rather an instinctive reaction of disgust. Releasing their discovery in [...]

A group of researchers has discovered that ovarian cancer could be identified earlier more than one year due to a latest method of spotting DNA patterns in blood samples. The research was released in the journal of Genome Medicine,  by scientists from University College London. The team found a region of [...]

For most people, it is quite easy to regard viruses as the sworn enemy. However, if their power are correctly utilized, they could be awesome companions in some sense. A recent study by the University of Leeds in the UK has demonstrated the way in which a virus could be [...]

Researchers have made some initial but promising achievements in a potential treatment of Huntington’s disease. With the help of such genetic therapy named as CRISPR, the scientists were capable of offering a permanent therapeutic cure to this condition in mice. Known as a fatal neurodegenerative disorder,  Huntington’s disease is caused [...]

It is found from a study funded by the British Heart Foundation that it is possible for “broken heart syndrome” to cause lasting damage to our bodies. Also known as Takotsubo syndrome in a technical term , it refers to the way in which a stressful event such as the death [...]
